Download Final Evaluation Report here: Evaluation of Swedish Health Sector Programme Support in Uganda 2000-2010

The evaluation examined Swedish support to the health sector between 2000 and 2010 and considered the 2011 situation in terms of overall health indicators and sector performance and results. It looked forward, to provide recommendations for future modalities: whether to continue with the current mix of sector budget support (SBS) and project support, or to apply other approaches. Swedish SBS contributions have been significant, representing between 5 and 10 % of the entire Ugandan health budget 2000-2010. Sweden's commitment to SBS is respected by government and development partners and is in line with the Paris Declaration. Sweden's position has supported attention to challenging issues, e.g. public sector accountability and adolescent sexual health. One key finding is that Sweden should continue to allocate a proportion of its health funding to SBS.
